Tuesday, 18-Aug 2009 @ 9:36 amTHE JASMINE IS IN FULL BLOOM!!

It must be SPRING!!! The Jasmine on the back fence is now in full bloom. I picked my first bunch this morning and now the whole house smells divine.

Have made a start on my new Spring/Summer Range of ART-TO-WEAR........ Been a bit of a worry though because both my sewing machine and my overlocker are 'not well' - but I will persevere.

I am working on making patchwork jackets with lots of vintage lace (using grandma's doillies etc), and some wonderful old beads and vintage jewellery for accents.

Once I have finished my first one I shall post it here for you to all have a look at.

Till then -

Cheers, Carol xxx

Saturday, 08-Aug 2009 @ 6:39 pmWOW!! WHAT A GREAT DAY.........

What a wonderful crowd you all are............. you must all take a bow!!!

Our Garage/Studio/Art-Sale was a resounding success - thanks to you all xxxx

These EVENTS have been proving very successful - so we do intend to continue with them in the future. We hope to hold them every 4 to 6 weeks, so keep watching this BLOG for details.

In the space of one day we have met the entire world in our garage...... Italian, Danish, Indian, Bangladesh, Polish, English, German, Dutch, Croatian, Kiwi, and the odd (very odd!) Aussie ......

Hope you are all well ...... and a very special HELLO to the lovely 'expecting lady' who we met (and bored with our tales of younger days??)

Catch you all later..........

Friday, 07-Aug 2009 @ 3:35 pmSTUDIO/GARAGE ART SALE....

Just to let you know that tomorrow (Saturday 8th August) we will be holding another one of our ART/GARAGE/STUDIO sales.

TIME: 7.30am through to 4pm.

There will be heaps of Artworks by Rainer Kozik, as well as my Art-to-Wear pieces (Coats, scarves & wraps), along with plenty of other 'STUFF'.......... (bric-a-brac, clothing, books, furniture, knitwear,......the list goes on).

How can it be???? It is already August, and the Jasmine on our back fence is now in bud!!!

We are both so worried about the art world here on the Gold Coast. What on earth has happened to it???!!!! One minute it was buzzing, and then, as if by magic, there is suddenly no more Art-World.

We will both try to remain positive, and have positive thoughts, but it is so hard sometimes.

We know our works are great (with the many, many sales we both have had being testament to this!), but now the true extent of the global financial squeeze is being felt - and unfortunately art is considered a 'luxury item' and as such is the first thing to be dumped.

Not to worry - we will survive.

It is being considered by management (that is he and me!!!) that there will be another Garage/Studio Sale!!!
